Hello again, everyone! :hug: here's something from the SP forum, in case you missed it: Tomorrow!

You're welcome. I'm Jen, btw. :nice: Were you able to open the page OK?

I'll get those samples for you, too... gimme a sec! :) EDIT: OK, all the samples are here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/SnowPatrolOfficial?v=app_137377592021&ref=nf Let me know if you can't open it...

Oh wait, I just stumbled on this: Here's the link... http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/11740321/Eyes-Open/Product.html The contest window opens from the SP Banner... look closely! EDIT: this is for UK residents only, so get on this people!!

^I didn't love it at first, either... but now it's really grown on me. What don't you like about it? The fact that it's more "dancey" (for lack of a better word)? To me, it still sounds Snow Patrol-esque... not toooooo different. Have you had a chance to hear the samples of "Dark Roman Wine" and "Give Me Strength"? Those both sound great to me, even at first listen. @Bernard- there's also a sample of tbe new Olive Grove over on their facebook page... let me see if I can link it up...

Good luck with that Ian, with a newborn on the way! :wacko: as for me, I don't make new years resolutions anymore. I'm perfect just as I am. :P

^Hey Meredith! I didn't realize that was you over in the SP forum until I checked back today. :P Gotta keep up the Coldplay love over there! :heart: And yes, you're right... this thread is really lovely, due to all the lovely people who hang out here! :hug: btw, hope you feel better soon! @Jea- thanks for the head's up about the UK edition of Eyes Open... I didn't know that it had bonus tracks. I also don't have the actual cd... now I may have to get that one also! :wacko: @Bianca- yes, keep making crazy stuff! ;)

Hi Jea, I'm Jen. It's nice to meet you! :nice: Yeah, Gary's voice did sound a little more gruff than usual, I think they mentioned in the interview that it was pretty early, so I bet that had something to do with it. But even gruff, he's got the most amazing voice. :wacky: and I was wondering about ordering on amazon.co.uk, too. The deluxe set isn't being offered in the US, so that's probably the best way to get it... I should just be able to use a mastercard or something to order it, right? Also, Jea, I did see that they're also selling it on SP's online store: http://order.universalmusic.co.uk/snowpatrol/product_2.html You might try there! :)

:stunned: Looky what I found... the performances from the Q interview that Elena posted the other day!! :dance: (Ok, I "found" them on the SP forum :P) [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame]

^What is wrong with you???? Are you dead inside?!?

^awwww, Bianca! I love it! :hug: sooo cute! :nice:

shame, Brooke, shame! :whip:

Bumping up! Time to send the newbies to Coldplay Boot Camp! :whip:

That is an amazing photo... made even more amazing by Bono's autograph! :cool: Awesome, xxKels! You will not be disappointed!! I'm Jen, btw. :nice:

Hey Michael... yeah, I feel the same way. And I'm also going to buy the actual album, I'm planning on getting the Deluxe set. I only bought the downloads of FS, EO, and AHMS and now I really wish I had gotten the actual cds. :( Maybe I'll ask Santa to get them for me for xmas! :D

^Thanks for posting it! LOVE his take on Dock of the Bay! And Clocks is, as ever, brilliant! is this your video icequeenn? the picture and sound quality are excellent! Did any videos turn up of the Bruce Springsteen cover? I don't think I've seen any.

ugh. Bummer, Bianca! I wonder why they did that? I can't remember, are you just getting the two CD set, the Deluxe set (w/DVD) or the super-fantastic BOX SET? @A Distant Echo... the leaderboard is up... we've got 8 points... a pretty good showing it seems! :dance:

Yay, Jess! :hug: So glad you had fun... can't wait to see the vids!

Hey Bianca! This Polar Teddy is fine... how about you? Wow, just two weeks til Up to Now! I'm still waiting to hear Just Say Yes on the radio here... although, to be fair, I rarely listen to the radio. I just hope they have good sales for Up to Now here in the US. I've only heard the Dark Roman Wine preview once! :\ I kind of want to save it for when I have the cd in my hands!!! Of course, that probably won't be until xmas, but at least I'll have something to look forward to!

^I feel the exact same way. I thought NLOTH was just ok on the album... LOVED it live. Vertigo and Get On Your Boots are far from my favorite songs, but are reaallllly good live. I do like Elevation, though, live or not. :P @bjaiken- I've noticed that about Ultraviolet, too. It's just a, to use your words, bad ass song. If you've heard it, it's hard not to like it.

^That is a gorgeous, gorgeous song. Nightswimming and Find the River back to back are PERFECTION. :wacky:

New album, Live from the Olympia is out soon. You can stream it here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114117204 as well as read a nice little interview with Michael Stipe. :)

ahhhh, Brooke! You always make me smile! I'm LMAO over here! :lol:

Yeah, Chris spotting you would definitely be a highlight! Which CP shirt were you wearing?

Caroline... absolutely gorgeous pics and thanks for Lost? ! :D Sounds like you had a great time... what was your favorite part?
